    Well 
    Verse 1
    the 

    rains 
    came 
    the 
    day 
    she 
    left, 

    I 
    nev
    er 
    thought 
    they 
    would 

    She 
    turned 
    away 
    like 
    all 
    the 
    rest, 

    I 
    nev
    er 
    thought 
    she 
    could 

    It 
    hadn't 
    rained 
    for 
    six 
    weeks 
    straight 

    and 
    the crops 
    weren't 
    any 
    good 

    I 
    tell 
    you, you're 
    looking 
    for 
    food 

    with 
    a 
    rifle 
    in 
    the 
    wood
    s 

    So 
    don't 
    turn 
    your 
    back 
    on 
    me, 

    I 
    might 
    have 
    a 
    gun 

    Just 
    listen 
    to 
    what 
    I 
    have 
    to 
    say 

    and 
    you 
    can 
    carry 
    on 

    These 
    are 
    des
    perate 
    days 

    for 
    what's 
    a 
    man 
    to 
    do 

    Time's 
    gon
    na 
    let 
    a 
    lean 
    on 
    me 

    I 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    lean 
    on 
    to 

    In 
    1986 
    I 
    walked 
    off 
    that 
    farm 

    It 
    was 
    the 
    year 
    the 
    Canadian 
    government 

    put 
    a 
    tax 
    on 
    country 
    charm 

    When 
    I 
    told 
    them 
    I 
    needed 
    some 
    time, 


    they asked 
    me 
    where 
    my 
    money 
    had 
    gone 

    Me, 
    living 
    in 
    a 
    two 
    -room 
    shack, 

    I 
    couldn't 
    hardly 
    keep 
    warm 

    So 
    don't 
    turn 
    your 
    back 
    on 
    me, 

    I 
    might 
    have 
    a 
    gun 

    Just 
    listen 
    to 
    what 
    I 
    have 
    to 
    say, 

    and 
    you 
    can 
    carry 
    on 

    These 
    are 
    des
    perate 
    days 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    man 
    to 
    do 

    Time's 
    got 
    a 
    little 
    lean 
    on 
    me 

    I 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    lean 
    on 
    to 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    just 
    a 
    boy 

    My 
    daddy 
    said 
    to 
    me 

    Always 
    stay 
    straight 
    and 
    true 

    And 
    thing
    s will 
    work 
    out 
    you 
    see 

    Well 
    if 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 
    here 
    tonight 

    to 
    listen 
    to 
    me 
    sing 
    my 
    song 

    I'd 
    look 
    him 
    straight 
    in 
    the 
    eyes 

    and 
    I'd 
    tell 
    him 
    he 
    was 
    wrong 

    So 
    don't 
    turn 
    your 
    back 
    on 
    me, 

    I 
    might 
    have 
    a 
    gun 

    Just 
    listen 
    to 
    what 
    I 
    have 
    to 
    say 

    and 
    you 
    can 
    carry 
    on 

    But 
    these 
    are 
    des
    perate 
    days 

    What's 
    a 
    man 
    to 
    do? 

    Time's 
    got 
    a 
    little 
    lean 
    on 
    me 

    I 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    lean 
    on 
    to 

    Time's 
    got 
    a 
    little 
    lean 
    on 
    me 

    I 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    lean 
    on 
    to 

    Time's 
    got 
    a 
    little 
    lean 
    on 
    me 

    I 
    had 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    lean 
    on 
    to 

    Verse 2

    Thank 
    you.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
